Canon 5D Mark II Rumor
Apr 13
Image via WikipediaRumors are always dangerous to indulge in, however many a Canon user have been waiting for the second version (Mark II) of their 5D camera.
Having has and opportunity to use the first version of the Canon 5D, and enjoying it throughly, an upgrade would almost be a must purchase for the smaller professional photographer or serious hobbyist.
The rumored specs, provided in full below, would allow several key things.
| Specification | Why this is cool! |
|---|---|
| 15.3 MP full frame CMOS sensor | Larger images allow for larger prints (20″x30″ not a problem) and allows for better cropping if something was too far away. |
| Weather sealing same as 1Ds Mark III | Misty rain, fog, and other elements won’t ruin your camera. |
| ISO 12800 (C.F. up to 25600) | Allows you to shoot in darker areas and still get a good photo. |
| All-new 29-point TTL CMOS sensor with 12 cross-type for F/2.8 or faster lens (35% faster than 40D) |
More CMOS sensors allow for more accurate focusing on your subject. My only complaint on the original 5D is that is only has 9 focusing points. |
| 3.0″ LCD (922,000 pixels) | Bigger LCD screen in the back allows you to see potential problems easier. |
| Live View | You can view the image your about to shoot in the LCD screen as well as through the view finder. |
| June 2 | We hope. |
